Chelan Marina

Chelan Marina offers a well-maintained boat ramp with good depth angle and parking facilities for accessing Lake Chelan and the Stehekin River. Located in Chelan, this full-service marina provides convenient launch access for kayakers, canoeists, and motorboaters. **Note:** Parking is strictly enforced and no vehicles are permitted on the ramp, turnaround, or access road itself—use designated parking areas only. All marina parking requires payment.

Before launching, paddlers should check current river flows and water levels, as conditions can change rapidly. The Stehekin River and Lake Chelan system features deep water—depths can reach several hundred feet just yards from shore—so exercise appropriate caution when navigating. The marina also serves as a gateway to upper lake access via the year-round ferry service to Stehekin and other locations.
